AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the foreign honour he received in Uzbekistan on Sunday (August 30). He said that this honour came from the same country from where Mughal emperor Babur came. He questioned that when only the country of Babur's birthplace has honoured the Prime Minister, how can the BJP and the Sangh now take the name'Babur'to target the opposition. On PM Modi being honoured with Uzbekistan's highest government honour'Order of Oliy Darazli Dustlik ', the Hyderabad MP said, "I congratulate the BJP, the country from where Babur came to India has given the honour to the Prime Minister." Owaisi said that Babur was a native of the Fergana Valley in present-day Uzbekistan and said that it has become a common thing for Prime Minister Modi to get the honour during foreign visits. Owaisi said, "These days, wherever the Prime Minister goes, no one takes the honour from him.
